Alipay has recently launched “Payment Integration Skill,” modularizing complex payment features so that developers can simplify the integration process through natural language and complete payment functionality integration in just three steps. This technology combines AI to make payment capabilities plug-and-play like a cloud service, advancing a new mode of application development.

claude-peers-mcp is an open-source project that enables multiple Claude Code sessions to communicate with each other without the cloud or APIs, achieving local AI collaboration. Each session acts as an equal "colleague," automatically syncing tasks and statuses. The system covers technical architecture, core commands, and application scenarios, but faces challenges in efficiency and conflict resolution, highlighting the trend of AI assistants evolving into AI teams.

Cottonia AI and REI Network, developed by GXChain, has announced a partnership to combine AI-native distributed cloud acceleration with a zero-fee, high-performance blockchain built for DeFi, gaming, and real-world applications Cottonia AI brings the AI infrastructure layer. REI Network brings a l

LiteLLM suffered a PyPI supply chain attack, with compromised versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 injected with multilayered malicious code that steals sensitive information such as SSH keys and cloud credentials. Attackers were able to do this without directly compromising upstream services. Affected organizations should immediately rotate credentials and audit systems to prevent further damage.

Jinse Finance reported that on March 25, the Chief Information Security Officer of Slowmist Technology disclosed that the Python AI gateway library LiteLLM was subjected to a PyPI supply chain attack. After users install this library via pip, their devices may have sensitive information such as SSH keys and cloud service credentials stolen by attackers.
